Bus stop, wet day, she’s there, I say  
“Please, share my umbrella”  
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows  
Under my umbrella  
All that summer, we enjoyed it  
Wind and rain and shine  
And that umbrella, we employed it  
By August, she was mine

Bus stop rat bag  
Ha, ha, charade you are  
You fucked up old hag  
Ha, ha, charade you are  
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass  
You’re nearly a good laugh  
Almost worth a quick grin

I’m in love with Margaret Thatcher  
I’m in love with Margaret Thatcher  
I’m in love with Maggie T  
I’m in love with Margaret Thatcher  
I’m in love with Margaret Thatcher  
I’m in love with Maggie T

Oh Margaret Thatcher is so sexy  
She’s the girl for you and me  
I go red when she’s on the telly  
Cos I think she fancies me

I’m not in love, so don’t forget  
It’s just a silly phase I’m going through  
And just because I called you up  
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made

I’m not in love, no no

I’m in love with the girl I’m talking about  
I’m in love with the girl I can’t live without  
I’m in love but I feel like I’m wearin’ it out  
I’m in love but I must have picked a bad time to be in love  
A bad time to be in love  
A bad time to be in love  
A bad time to be in love

If you receive an e-mail with a subject of “Badtimes,” delete it immediately without reading it. This is the most dangerous e-mail virus yet.

It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator’s coolness setting so all your ice cream melts. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to render any CDs you try to play unreadable. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there’s company coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit and hide your car keys when you are late for work

(That’s an interesting set of song lyrics. 😉 )

In play:

You had me down twenty-one to zip  
Smile of Judas on your lip  
Shake my fist, knock on wood  
I’ve got it bad and I got it good

Doctor, doctor, gimme the news  
I’ve got a bad case of loving you  
No pill’s gonna cure my ill  
I got a bad case of lovin’ you

Whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh yeah  
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough  
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to love

If there’s a cure for this  
I don’t want it, I don’t want it  
If there’s a remedy  
I’ll run from it, from it

If I come on like a dream?  
Will you let me show you what I mean?  
Will you let me come on inside?  
Will you let it glide?

Can I have some remedy? (All I want is a remedy)  
Remedy for me, please (for all of the things I really do need)  
If I’d some remedy (ooh, I’d take another one)  
I’d take enough to please me

I’d tried so, not to give in  
And I said to myself this affair it never will go so well  
But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well  
That I’ve got you under my skin

And it’s up to you,  
Why won’t you say?  
Make our lives turn out this way.  
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose,  
No reason to hide from what’s true.

You can never understand  
We can now be like water  
Don’t need more to find our way  
Just get on where we came

No time to lose

The two of us  
Together again  
But it’s just the same  
A stupid game

But I don’t care if you don’t  
And I don’t feel if you don’t  
And I don’t want it if you don’t  
And I won’t say it  
If you won’t say it first
